Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) on Friday detained two suspected drug peddlers at Ramu upazila in Cox's Bazar, and seized one kilogram of crystal meth (ice) worth about Tk 5 crore from their possessions.
Detainees are Syedul Amin, 34, son of Foyez Ahmed, and a teenager hailing from Ukhia upazila.
Acting on a tip-off, a team of BGB-30 raided the West Goalia area around 5:45 pm and stopped a CNG-run auto-rickshaw for checking.
Sensing the matter, three occupants of the vehicle jumped into a nearby pond in a bid to escape.
Later, BGB personnel nabbed two of them and seized the drug from their possessions.
